Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Exotic states of matter known as time crystals are largely considered a quantum phenomenon. Now, a team from New York ...

Acoustics is the branch of science that studies the propagation of sound and vibrational waves. Audible acoustic waves are ubiquitous in our everyday experience: they form the basis of verbal human ...

A research team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has discovered a new type of sound wave: the airborne sound wave vibrates transversely and carries both rotation and orbital angular momentum ...

We are surrounded by waves. tiny vibrational waves transport sound to our ears. Light waves stimulate the retinas of our eyes. Electromagnetic waves bring radio, television and endless streaming ...

For the last decade, scientists have been making giant leaps in their ability to build and control systems based on the bizarre rules of quantum mechanics, which describe the behavior of particles at ...

Researchers have constructed a 'meta-mirror' device capable of perfectly reflecting sound waves in any direction. The proof-of-principle demonstration is analogous to looking directly into a mirror ...
